Just heard.  Cleveland is not messing around.  You can ink Barkley in at 1.01 now.  Minkah Fitzpatrick at 1.04 and how much you wanna bet they swing for the fences with Lamar Jackson in the 2nd if he's there.

Couldn't agree more. I just thought that AJ McCarron would be their next QB.

Think the Taylor trade was a boneheaded move, he doesn't offer them much of an upgrade at QB (imo), and won't make this offense sing.  They could have gotten a better bridge QB.

 

This....all those wideouts and you trade for a risk adverse noodle armed running QB.  Well done? :unsure:

Assumption: Cousins lands in Minnesota.

 

It will be Barkley at pick #1 and either Allen or Mayfield at 4.  Taylor is a hold the fort guy for them.  

 

Giants will take Darnold or Rosen at #2.  Eli will play his final season for the giants this year

 

Colts would take Barkley if he were there, but he's going to Browns at #1 so Colts will trade back, hopefully to #6 with the Jets (that way the Colts can still get Chubb or Fitzpatrick).  I doubt they trade as far back as the Dolphins #11 or the Bills pair of later 1st rounders.

 

Cleveland will take Mayfield or Allen at 4.

 

Denver will take Allen or Mayfield at #5

 

Jets, if they don't trade up, will once again be left standing around, with Macagnan and Todd Bowels both holding their d*cks in front of the world to see.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Talking to a few executives, they doubt the Cleveland Browns will take Penn State running back Saquon Barkley with the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

The word "shocked" came up.

The consensus was that John Dorsey was hired to find the long-term answer at quarterback. The previous front office was replaced partly because they failed to do so.

So why would the new general manager have a chance to grab any quarterback in the draft -- that's right, anyone available -- and take a running back instead?

This is not the 2013 draft, where the top quarterbacks were EJ Manuel (No. 16, Buffalo Bills), Geno Smith (No. 39, N.Y. Jets) and Mike Glennon (No. 73, Tampa Bay Buccaneers).

There are real quarterbacks available at the top of the first round. Four are expected to go very high: Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield.

"I also think Mason Rudolph could be a starter on the right team," said one executive. "He could go in the first round."

Rudolph played in a pass-obsessed system at Oklahoma State. He'll have to learn the pro game, much like Jared Goff did. They both came out of the "Air Raid" offenses where a quarterback doesn't huddle up and is seldom under center.

That alone won't scare Dorsey. Last year, he traded up in the 2017 draft to pick Patrick Mahomes at No. 10 for the Kansas City Chiefs. At Texas Tech, Mahomes played in an offense similar to Rudolph's at Oklahoma State.

This is not to say the Browns are drafting Rudolph.

It is to say Dorsey will not write off a quarterback simply because of the offense.

wrong.  Barkley is unique.  There is no one else like him in this draft.  One of Rosen, Mayfield, Allen or Darnold will be there at pick #4.  Cleveland comes away with the best RB in the draft and its future QB (most likely Mayfield or Allen) drafted at slot 4.  Plus they can compete quickly with Tyrod Taylor as their 'hold-the-fort' QB until the rookie is ready.  Adding Landry to the slot with Gordon and Coleman at wideout was genius too.   Not to mention the TWO good rookie TEs they drafted last year in Njoku and DeValve.

DeValve was drafted the year prior, not last year

Actually 2 of those 4 QBs will be there at #4 if the Browns take Barkley. So they need to decide which ones they're comfortable with, then decide if their 1st choice plus somebody like Fitzpatrick at 4 is better than Barkley and at worst their 4th choice. There is definitely pressure to take a QB at 1, but hopefully Dorsey has room to operate as he sees fit.

 

He could take QB at 1 and still pick the wrong one jeopardizing his career.

Exactly.  Browns have a huge need at QB, but they'll still have a great choice at #4.  You don't pass up Michael Jordan when he's on the board to cater to your need.

Browns | WR impressed with Tyrod Taylor
Thu, 05 Jul 2018 13:25:14 -0700

Cleveland Browns WR Jarvis Landry said QB Tyrod Taylor was very impressive during offseason workouts and showed good accuracy and leadership during practice.

 

 

Playerspeak is even less reliable than coachspeak.  And wide receiver playerspeak is the least reliable when it comes to their quarterback because the receiver has a vested interest in staying on the quarterback's good side because he wants to be targeted.  But I like Tyrod Taylor.  He doesn't throw interceptions and produces a lot with his legs.  His rushing stats even make him a serviceable bye-week-filling fantasy quarterback.  But he has never thrown for a lot of yards or thrown a lot of touchdowns.  His risk averse tendencies will prevent him from throwing to a covered receiver and elite receivers need to be thrown to when they are covered if they are going to produce elite stats.  The Browns have a lot of quality receivers that are going to be sharing a small pie.  It probably isn't going to take long for Landry and Gordon to be asking behind the scenes for Tyrod to be replaced by Baker.

But fanspeak is 100% trustworthy ?

 

How will we know Landry and Gordon are doing that behind the scenes?

 

I'm more concerned about Gordon staying out of trouble than either guy being unhappy with Taylor.

Negatory.  Fanspeak is not reliable.  Fans speculate without any firsthand knowledge.  But a fan's opinion is honest.  Coachspeak and playerspeak are almost never completely truthful.  At best an exaggeration with rose-colored glasses, at worst a straight up lie.

It being secretive is implicit in the definition of "behind the scenes".  We won't know unless someone leaks that information.  We don't find out about most things that go on behind the scenes.  If the information is leaked, we still won't know if the leak is true.  For instance, we still don't know what really happened with the AJ McCarron trade debacle.
